Good Afternoon.
My Grandfather's cousin was Bob Fitzimmons. I am in contact with Bobs grandson in new zealand.
David has a web site on Bobs boxing history.
I have several relatives down in cornwall who did not know that they were related to Bob until I gave them some history on our ancestors.
I have visited Helston many times.
My Mother has retired down in cornwall and I hope to re-locate down that way in the very near future.
I did try to by Bob's cottage a few years back but the new people at the pub beat me to it. I do know it is up for sale again now but a little out of my price range
I was wondering if there were any other relatives down there that we do not know about?
Fitzsimmons was a double barrel name.. Fitzsimmons-Lewarne and when Iwas little I remember the... Fitzsimmons-LeWarnes emigrating to Australia.
Are there any Fitzimmons-Lewarne's about anywhere please?
Regards,
Chrissy.

Thankyou for yr reply Ian.
Some relatives were just Lewarne's I assume that the Fitzsimmons came about by a marriage using both names jointly!
I remember a Lewarne who went to austraila was named Kenny. this was over 40 yrs ago. My aunty who is 60yrs of age rememebers Uncle Cash (Cashell).I named my daughter Cashell who id 9yrs old now, as it had not been used within our family for many O' Years. I found the name on a funeral card that was in my Grandfathers belongings when he passed away. The name was Cashell Fitzsimmons-Lewarne It did not say if the person was male or female only that they had dies aged 89 yrs of age

Hi Chrissy I recently discovered that my grandmothers Mother Lucy Bevan married Joseph Fitzsimmons Lewarne in Newport Monmouthshire Wales Jan 5 1890...Joseph was one of the sons of Cashel Fitzs. Lewarne....so I am looking for any info you may have on Cashel or descendents of Joe and Lucy as they seem to have disapeared after the 1891 census..I checked Ellis Island records and they did not go to the states...Would you happen to know if they came to Australia, as I live in Nth Qld and I could check all the Aust records for them...I would be grateful for any other info from anyone about Cashel and his family in Wales. I found that he was the daughter of Alice a Widow in 1841 census Wales....Thank you Jeannie
